You stop to ask me if he's well
If everything is dandy
You're going to visit him as soon
As Christ walks on the Ganges
And when the rainbows turn to gold
You'll go and sit beside him
And in your mind you'll see you there
Although you never have been
While you remind me you're a friend
You hope he will forget you
So of your absences he maybe
Never will remind you
You speak to me so sincerely
I almost could believe you
But I see clearly what you want
You want me to console you
And with no effort on your part
You'll think yourself so noble
But I can see your coward self
And watch you hide from trouble
Sit and stroke your ego'd self
And spout your sad malarkey
You're such a little man at heart
We certainly don't need you

When someone hurts someone I love they hurt me - I guess this is what this great write is saying.
Boo hoo, you mean me? Am I that bad?! (heehee). That malarkeying - will it make me swoon?! lol.
No Orchi - I think you would probably be there if someone needed a visit at a hospital.............
To answer the question in the pic, I’d use both hands simultaneously...left to right, right to left!
I guess I’d be accused of promoting physical violence!
So then I’d do exactly what you did...
slap them with a powerful verse!
An excellent write my dear Lorna! A mighty message! Hooray for the mighty pen! I hope it’ll be read by the individual it was intended for!
~Laura~
P.S.-a great Bob Dylan song to accompany your poem!
Unfortunately he won't read it but it felt good to vent L.............
I understand! That’s one of the reasons why I find myself on this MPS site! I’m not physically violent...I can’t shout or yell at anyone, but myself! So at least I can write if I need to express myself and vent...if I need to!
So sad you had to write this to a person who does not feel the need of keeping a promise and the hurt this causes on behalf of one you love - - Self righteous people know all the excuses to make dear Lorna and their company therefore will never be missed. An needed rant and so well written.
Thanks Fay - I'll try to keep rants to a minimum as everyone has problems..........! My parents were big on "laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone".............. Not sure where angry rants fit! ha!
Thanks for sharing LORNA ! Love the Picture (love those Art Deco Ladies !) Love the Poem (I'm still deciphering it ~ but I get the message)Love DYLAN great Poet and a passable Singer !

Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN Pleases check my Poems & Fusion ~ Thanks B !
Thanks, Lorna. I enjoyed your poem.
People who only worry about themselves and expect others to help them are not worth bothering with, move on in your life after you have written these wonderful words.
